We take pleasure sending our new Americana Catalogue, just issued. This catalogue represents our entire stock of books relating to America on hand at the present time, and is the result of purchases made in Europe and throughout the United States, but principally from the private libraries bought by us during the past two years. All works mentioned in this catalogue are now on our shelves, but in most cases we have but a single copy, so that an early order is desirable. As is now so well known, this class of books is rapidly disappearing from the market, and the thousands of public libraries, historical societies, etc., added to the large number of collectors who are interested in this subject, make such a collection very difficult to gather. While rareties are found on nearly every page, our purpose has been to keep in stock out-of-print "working books" of recognized value at reasonable prices. It would be impossible to mention in detail all the desirable items, as this would include nearly the entire catalogue. Special attention is called to the fine collection of genealogical works.
